Rest
“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer’s day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.”
Reflection:
I rest. I rest and I am renewed. I take time and find a quiet space, and I rest. I rest my eyes, and my ears, and my mind. I rest all of my senses. I rest my hands, and feet, and face. I let go of my defenses. As I am tired, I take care; I rest.
I seize this day to practice the art of doing nothing. I go deep into stillness - into calm awakening. I free my mind from all busyness - all agitation. I am serene. Like a placid lake at sunrise or sunset. Expanding into stillness and beauty. At peace.
Today, I withdraw from activity. I lounge and lay myself down - it’s another retreat day - and I am perfectly happy. I let go of the need-to’s and should-do’s and musts - and I rest - rest - taking the journey from movement to stillness. Quieting the minds active shrillness - Join me if you will ~ it’s going to be a grand day!
